Pongbot Omni S Pro owners' review and discussion thread

[plunder]

We all know and appreciate the versatiliy and the (by @smee0815 @olanga enhanced 🦾) functionality of the Nova S Pro; my Nova was going strong ... until i somehow🤷‍♀️ ran tired of using it. There's nothing wrong with the Nova at such a price point, heck i am keeping 2 units (lemme call them robi2 robi3, i'm not convinced by their inner build quality tbh), and hopefully you keep using it avidly week after week for 1 year and more years to come: it has to be the best robot in the sub-500US$ category ... especially if🤔 it keeps running and running without breaking down. 🛐

I've been documenting my robipon frequency painstakingly, since as a shopper I was curious myself about usage frequency of Power Pong Omega (Butterfly Amicus Prime) by disciplined players like Dario Grd: if i buy a good robot, how often will i end up using it regularly, say after 1 year of ownership? Only if i knew that i'd keep using it often enough in future, the purchase would make sense. So, if you're a Nova owner, i urge you to do the same: tally your frequency month after month, and learn if and by how much you've been slacking off. Then come back and we'll try to fathom together what the slow Nova-use k*ller has been in the long term (i kinda know what has gradually been draining my continued zeal for robi2pon but let's stayed focused on the Omni in this thread). Anyway I went back to training with my returnboards (rb1 rb3 rb4) for several months. And finally i switched back to robipon: training with my Omni S Pro (=robi4) which i bought at post-spring sale discount 🤑

TL;DR If we could travel back in time, i'd simply buy the Omni and be done with the robi acquisition topic.: it beats robi1, robi2, robi3 (=copy of robi2), in essential ways. I don't regret owning and keeping those other 3 robi units (for simple reasons) ... but if i do sell them, i'd let you guys know!

youtube is full of unboxing and first use videos of the Omni, none of the youtubers discuss practical details, curiosities, or similar interesting tidbits. In this thread we'll look at all noteworthy aspects, sometimes in comparison to the Nova and rarely to the Omega because i am not expert at operating robi1. The Nova never broke down on me, so i never dared🤫 to show off any critical details about its build quality; fair enough. I had never owned an Omni before, so i never dared 🤫 to make any own claims or statements on the product; also fair enough. Now i own them all and can finally speak up (and reconfirm/refute what other Omni owners had opined). So stay tuned, i'll keep updating this thread! 🗣️

I'm interested to see what you discover on the inside of your omni lol. I love mine. the only issues i have with it are very minimal. If Olga was able to do the same thing he did for the Omni that he did with the nova, i would have basically zero issues.

For the price point, its going to be really hard to beat this robot. although Pusun now has a robot thats an even lower price point and seems to the same functionality if not better (3 wheels + rotating head) for an even cheaper price.
